The Holiday Of Passover

Passover is a very special holiday to the Jewish bible. There is a very interesting story that goes along with it! Long ago, in the land of Egypt there lived a Jewish mother with three kids, Aaron, Miriam, and a new born baby, Moses. In those times, the Pharaoh decided to kill all of the Jewish babies! Moses's mother decided to put him in a basket and place him in the river, hoping he would survive. As Moses floated in the river, Miriam watched and made sure that nothing would happened to him. eventually, the daughter of the Pharaoh found him and knew he was Jewish but decided to raise him as her own. At that time, all of the Jews were slaves! When Moses grew up, he found a burning bush and heard a voice. It was our Jewish god telling him that he was jewish and to go save the Jews. Moses went to Pharaoh and told him "Let my people go!" and pharaoh said no. One day, Moses found his real sister and brother, and with god's help, they created ten plauges. They were blood, frogs, lice, wild beasts, cattle disease, boils, hail with fire, locusts, darkness, and death of the first born boys. Finally, after all of those plauges, pharoah let the Jews go, but as the Jews were leaving, Pharaoh changed his mind! The Egyptians chased the Jews until they reached the Red Sea! Moses put his staff in the air and the sea parted! They walked through the sea and as the Egyptians reached the sea, it closed! The Jews went on to the land of Isreal!
